Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

So, I get a call from the receiving department. They are angry. I have received a personal package and that IS AGAINST POLICY.

I run down to get an ass-whuppin', and the receiving guy is standing there grinning, "somebody looooves youuuu."

FLOWERS! From msbelle! My FAVORITES! Purple iris and stargazer lillies!!!!!

I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!

She truly is the nicest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hadn't realised that although Michael wants the feeding tubes removed, he's actually not making the decision, but placing that decision in the hands of the court. To avoid the appearence of impropriety, etc.

I thought he'd made the decision, and her parents were trying to use the courts to stop it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have received a personal package and that IS AGAINST POLICY.

WTF is the rational for this policy?

Sooper sekrit government-sponsored stuff, maybe.

WTF is the rational for this policy?

We have that policy here at the University, too, and are reminded of it every holiday season. I believe it has to do with the fact that the U. doesn't want to pay folks to spend time delivering our personal stuff.

eta: This policy despite the fact that a new shirt/sweater/skirt right around mid-day makes me a very happy worker-bee.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I just had a new vacuum cleaner delivered to me at work today.

It would really suck if we couldn't do things like that, because I don't want to have things delivered at home and sit in the lobby all day.

When I used to work for the Gigantic Gaming Empire, I'd have my computer shtuff sent to work, because that way it wouldn't be left on my porch by moronic drivers.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I hadn't realised that although Michael wants the feeding tubes removed, he's actually not making the decision, but placing that decision in the hands of the court. To avoid the appearence of impropriety, etc.

I hadn't heard that, either. It's an interesting opinion-- more compassionate than I've probably ever read.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I occasionally have personal packages delivered to me at work, and have never gotten reprimanded for it.(and i work for the federal government.)
